Change Flintlock out for percussion cap

[Rnolye]

Hey, I am wanting to change out a flintlock to a percussion cap.
I have a Deerhunter 50 cal FlintLock, can i change out the entire cock plate unit and just switch it out for a percussion cap cock plate?
Then just screw in a nipple into the barrel for the percussion cap?

You will have to install a powder drum also. It would be cheaper and easier to sell or trade your rifle for what you want.

Just keep what you have and get a caplock.

This sort of question should be asked in the Gun Builder's Bench area of the forum rather than here in the Regional Forum.
